I've been looking for the past 20 minutes but the Fresco interface isn't clear on how to crop...

 

where is the crop tool?

That would be a super cool feature and should be easy for them to add, I would think. Nice suggestion. But for now, all you can do is resize and expand the image past the margin of the canvas, and it will cut off what you want out of it.

I also had this problem, that make me almost come back to procreate! but as @MalangaIllustrations said it, you could actually crop by changing the size. Click on the parameter wheel when you're on your drawing, and it would open a pannel where you could modify the size. It worked for me, i could put a larger size, and enlarge my drawing. But it's a little weird, i prefer procreate, more intuitive and easy to use. I Wish they would put a real crop options, like in the normal photoshop!

Hi! I managed to crop but only by changing the canvas size (from Letter to "large postcard"). Luckily the pre-set size happened to fit what I needed.

You could bring the file into photoshop and crop it there which is what I've done.

Hi Hazel. 

 

There isn't a crop tool in Fresco yet (there will eventually be one). As a workaround you could duplicate the drawing then change the canvas size.... 

 

Once you've duplicated the drawing, open the duplicate, then  tap the gear icon in the upper nav and tap on the field with the document size. 

 

Will that help?

a) wow this is clunky.  How is there no crop tool?

b) this solution only helps if you know the size of your selection, but I can't find that anywhere either.

c) see a.

d) ... see a.

 

This one lacking feature makes me wonder what I'm missing about this app's existance.  Its clearly not meant to stand on its own. But it also duplicates functionality found in other Adobe apps.
